The Miyazaki gyuto 231mm is a handcrafted Japanese chef's knife forged in Goto, Nagasaki by Haruki Miyazaki. This knife features an Aogami #2 carbon steel core with iron cladding in sanmai construction and a tsuchime kurouchi damascus finish. At 231mm with 52mm blade height and weighing 219g, this gyuto handles general kitchen tasks from slicing to chopping. The iron cladding will develop a natural patina over time with use.
Haruki Miyazaki was born in 1985 in Goto, Nagasaki. He apprenticed for five years under Toshio Ooba, known for his hakata knives, before traveling across Japan to learn from other blacksmiths. He also studied with Yukinori Shirataka, who was considered a living national treasure. Miyazaki established his own workshop in 2011 and works with various Japanese steels including Aogami #2, Shirogami #2, Aogami Super, and Ginsanko.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
